About the project

Photographs by Christopher Griffith

Analysis of polling, voting patterns, political spending and other trends led CNN to six types of undecided voters being targeted by the campaigns -- and then, to these six individuals in six battleground states. They speak for themselves, of course, and not for their demographics. But their stories illuminate the intersection between real life and politics, where personal histories, challenges and hopes mirror those of the nation. Writers and videographers spent several days with each, documenting their lives and the complexity of the choices they will make on November 6. A photographer captured the essence of The Undecided in portraits and still-life images.
